In her talk, Dr Suze Kundu suggested that we collectively make a plan to encourage people to do more, and Digital Science have put together an article of what we can each do to help bring about equality. The ideas so far include:

not making women feel different for being in STEM

using yourself as a role model in talks

getting support from men at the top

not being afraid to be yourself and embracing femininity (if you want to)

encouraging diversity to get rid of stereotypes

We are now asking for people to share their ideas for practical steps we can all take to support women in STEM, and have started a Google document for all your contributions. Please share your thoughts — there have been some excellent responses so far!
